Hello TSM'ers, This is one for you unix scripting people out there.
I am unable in our environment to test the kinds of commands needed to achieve this, but we have a customer who wishes to perform backups on 5 machines, controlled from one machine. So, a script would execute on one machine, remotely invoke a backup script on each of the other machines and then wait untill those scripts have finished before continuing. My initial idea would be to use something like a series of rexecs placed into the background, followed by a wait to wait for these scripts to return. (pseudo-Ksh-code) pre-backup stuff rexec host backup.sc & rexec host backup.sc & etc.. wait post backup stuff Our customer though does not hjave rexec available, and woudl like to perform somthing similar maybe using rsh ? My scripting is Ok, but I have not done much with remote shells / commands etc.. so I wouldnt know how they behaved without testing it out a few times myself, which I can't do atthe moment. Does anyone have any Ideas or do anything similar? Thanks, Matthew Warren. EDS Core Infrastructure. Wavendon Tower. Milton Keynes. GZPTXW.
